It isn't like people sat in smoke filled rooms and pre-conspired their cities for pandemic controls, that part's silly but the way a lot of Chinese cities are constructed has its roots in this high modernist, Le Corbusier, Robert Moses style design[1].

Chinese urban planning is very much heir to this idea of regular, orderly urban development, in the parts of cities that aren't old and premodern. Everything has its place, the apartment complexes, the roads, the recreational areas, how people move, and so on. It's become very fashionable to rail against this in particular in Western intellectual circles but honestly having been to China but also to places like Chandigarh, I've had a pretty positive impression.

American style tent cities or Brazillian style shanty towns are not the solution.

In my country there's a problem with providing shelters- you don't want to attract every Eastern European crackhead. On the other hand people have died and that's a bit embarrassing as well.

The solution was those crazy Christians from the Salvation army. They don't ask for ID and they are a private initiative which allows for full plausible deniability from the government.

Bitcoin will fail because of it's capped supply. Holders are free riders, spenders subsidize the security benefit hilders get, and are therefore incentivized to also free ride. Ultimately bitcoin security will collapse and with that, value of the network and coins.

Maybe not the answer you were looking for, and certainly you'll get more any crypto perspectives on this site than ones like mine. I like bitcoin. But incentives are outcome.
My opinion of America would probably be a bit more positive if it only behaved aggressively towards territories that were internationally recognized as being part of America.

This isnt to excuse China's belligerence, just to put its actions in perspective, something which American nationalists vehemently object to.

I’m surprised that specialized routes in the us haven’t gotten more traction. I think the Heathrow express is brilliant example of this (depending on what terminal your flying from) it’s almost always faster than driving, it gets you into central London, it’s cheaper, and there are no connections/ transfers. It boggles my mind that their isn’t an equivalent in the us (say a DIRECT rail link to terminals at EWR, JFK, LGA and manhattan.

My experience with rail travel in the us, is (outside the NE corridor / Acela: 1) trains do not depart/arrive at convenient locations, 2) go too slowly[1], and often are not very price/time competitive [2].

1. I believe the Pennsylvania Railroad Congressional train averaged about the same speed as the Acela DC>NY in 1940’s -1960’s
2. DCA>LGA 12/31 is $202 ~2:40 door to door time, Acela is $255 and is ~3:15 door to door.

I'm not sure. Maybe it's "wait for events that aren't tied to an fd."

For instance, FreeBSD (and I think other BSDs) also have EVFILT_PROC, which lets you monitor a PID (not an fd) for events. One such event is NOTE_FORK, i.e., the monitored process just forked. Can you wait for such events with epoll? I'm not sure.

More generally, suppose you wanted to automatically start watching all descendants of the process for events as well. If I was required to use a separate fd to monitor that child process, then upon getting the fork event I'd have to somehow obtain an fd for that child process and then tell epoll about it, and in that window I may have missed the child process forking off a grandchild.

I'm not sure how to solve this kind of problem in the epoll world. I guess you could introduce a new fd type which represents a process and all of its descendants, and define some semantics for how epoll reports events on that fd type. In FreeBSD we can just have a dedicated EVFILT_PROC filter, no need for a new fd type. I'm not really sure whether that's better or worse.
Something to do with the name perhaps!

To expand on ‘The Expanse’ “Basic”.

The expanse was a 9+ book series that won several literary awards that takes place in an interplanetary humanity several centuries in the future.

Roughly one half of the population of earth, or 30 billion people, live on basic assistance from The United Nations. The only way to leave basic is to get a job or get an education, and there are significant hurdles to both of those routes. People on basic do not get money, but they do receive everything they need to live a life. A barter economy exists among those on basic, and some small industry is available to those on basic if it flies under the government’s radar. Some (unspecified population size) undocumented people do not receive basic, and may resort to crime in order to make ends meet.

That’s grim, to say the least.

I also think it’s more proof that tech hiring is broken. When good candidates can’t reasonably get in front of hiring managers without an “in” that means they’re missing out on a lot of really good candidates.

Think that’s the part that bothers me about tech hiring right now. You can’t even really get away messaging a recruiter at the company to start a conversation, I’ve heard from friends that recruiters simply don’t respond in most cases and I’ve heard from a few recruiters I know that they won’t consider it anymore because it became swamped with spam
From looking at the man page, it look like epoll does not return the file descriptor of the event; it returns a union containing user-defined data, although one of the union's fields is called "fd" because it is presumably intended to be used as the file descriptor.

However, this is still subject to the problems you mention, as well as that you presumably can no longer control events for a file descriptor if you do longer have it, so it is still seems a problem.

Putting the file descriptor in the "struct epoll_event" instead of "epoll_data_t" would have avoided the problem of events on the wrong file descriptor, but that still might not be good enough. (It could specify -1 as the file descriptor for events of file descriptors that you do not have access to.)

Some of this is just the problem with POSIX in general. I did consider such problems (of file descriptors and of event handling) in my own ideas of operating system design, which uses capabilities. I would want to avoid the mess that other systems is doing, too. A capability in this case is fundamentally a different data type than numbers (and IPC treats them differently), although I am not sure yet how to handle this in a suitable way within a process (tagged memory might do, although not all computers use tagged memory). (Note that most I/O is done using IPC and not by system calls; the number of system calls is limited and is usually only used for managing the capabilities and event handling. This would also improve security as well as other things.)

chain rotation is nice, makes them even last longer..! you can also don't do it and fit a new chain when the 1° is over in an 'old' cassette and after some gentle rides it'll settle there and stop skipping (at least 2-3 times till the cassette comes to an end). you can even rotate the crank cog when you change your chain, so you have less tear as the crank arm tends to make pressure in only some parts of the cog (aka. concentric movements)... but i can't see a case where you destroy a chain in weeks, with our without rotation, doesn't matter if you are a 100 kilos or a 55. maybe without doing any cleaning and no oil, still i have my doubts as i rode for some months as a test, with my chain without oil just to check how much it would last! in my defense i cleaned it every other day or on a daily basis if there was rain (also i had mudguards)

I only learned yesterday after reading this article that, apparently, a good many countries have no taxes on gambling wins. The reasoning is - again, from my quick bit of reading, if someone in the know wants to correct me please do - that most people lose, and the government doesn't want to be liable to help all the people who lose heavily.

Which is great for the pros, I suppose. Here's a list of countries, which you'd have to check individually, after I searched "gambling tax free countries":

It's usb-c currently with an explicit: if there's a consensus, it can be changed. See point 9 of https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv%... I mean, the point of the regulation is not usb-c. It's literally called a harmonisation directive, with a currently chosen implementation.
If the only communication is direct and physical, then this entire discussion is moot.
Yes, while this is not exactly the same, the code and general logic is eeriely similar to what was sent to me. One of them is likely a fork of the other.
The "ethics crisis", as described here, is the complaining of one ruling elite (traditional media, universities, bureaucrats, etc.) against another upcoming elite (tech). The problem is that all of the power is accruing to tech — at the expense of the competing, traditional elites.

An even bigger problem is that most of the economic and social benefits have come from technology. This even includes shorter work weeks and paid leave (typically falsely credited to unions) and greater disposable income, which have come from technology (broadly speaking) and not from activism.

A tech "ethics crisis" and the "dangerous" profit motive are just renewed attacks against capitalism, and "tech" is itself just the tip of the spear of capitalism (and the cultural nom de guerre of capitalism's elites).
Apple's food scientists have verified the food safety of their new recipe, and they are sufficiently confident that nobody will suffer any allergic reaction. Nobody has disputed their assessment.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Beyond the basic health things (weight, activity, smoking, diet, blood pressure) just about everything that they come up with that relates to living longer could also be filtering. I remain unimpressed because of this.
I don't assume it "wasn't looked at", but I absolutely do think that a lot of the time it "wasn't understood" because the recruiters reading it only have very simply "keyword lookup" ability, instead of actually reading the resume.

I don't fill my my resume with a bunch of spam buzzwords for every adjacent technology I've ever used, because certain things are kind of implied by other things. If I put "set up multiple clusters across different Linux systems", I don't also cram in "systemd, bash, upstart, scripting, ls, cp, du, nohup", despite the fact that I know how to use all of those things, because I think they're implied by "me setting up Linux clusters".

A software engineer reading my resume would come away with a decent understanding of what skills I have, but a recruiter who doesn't know anything outside of keyword-matching and hitting the `fwd` button in Outlook (which appears to be most recruiters) will see "HE DOESN'T KNOW BASH, SEE HE DIDN'T PUT IT ON HIS RESUME."

Now, of course, most of this is on me, it's up to me to learn how to play the game, whether or not I like the system doesn't really change anything, but as far as I can tell, the "solution" to this is to turn my resume into a low-quality SEO-spam piece of shit so as to try and satisfy the most incompetent person who might read it.

The same government has the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution on its conscience, two initiatives that caused a lot of poverty and destruction for its citizens.

This is the inherent risk of all authoritarian regimes: if the top boss goes crazy and demands, say, that you all start to kill sparrows, there is no way to stop him or remove him from power. No division of powers.

The very same mechanism caused the Russo-Ukrainian war.
The point is that, if your only exposure to American public opinion was Twitter, you might get an unrealistic view of how to understand the relationship between public opinion and government policy. It's not the case that the 2020 election proves the American people broadly endorse the most extreme left-wing thought on Twitter, any more than the Twitter ownership change and 2024 election proves that the American people have now become extreme right-wing devotees.

In addition, most drugs do not have a "nice" synthesis that doesn't leave a whole bunch of glop in the afterproducts. Distilling alcohol is about as easy as it gets and yet people wind up poisoned from homemade hooch all the time.

Hmm, reading a bit more on the same article, i.e., this one here:

https://www.vegasmaster.com/gambling-tax-free-countries/

I see these relevant lines:

> The laws concerning gambling tax around the world aren’t all black and white. In most cases, there is a sort of gray area which states that you will be taxed on winnings if gambling is your profession or your main source of income. However, if you gamble and win but you have a bigger source of income and don’t rely on professional gambling to pay the bills, you won’t be taxed.

In other countries, like Kenya and Ireland, players aren’t taxed on their winnings, but bookies must pay a certain percentage of taxes on the total bets or winnings they record. In Ireland bookies must pay 1% on all bets placed through them, while in Kenya bookies have to pay 7.5% tax on all winnings they record.

The average banker anywhere isn't likely a serf, but the average banker is not an average citizen.
